KATE BREAKEY / Wondrous Things
Artist Reception: 4-6pm, July 29, 2023
On View July 29- September 30, 2023
“Making images of these things is a natural extension of being fascinated, touched, or intrigued by them. This process of seeing, and recording transforms me. It is how I express wonder and love, a form of dedication. It is also a record of my life and my desire to connect myself to all other things, the acknowledgment of a search for an explanation, for meaning and significance, a primal longing to grasp things which are unknowable.”— Kate Breakey
Kate Breakey is an artist who finds inspiration in the beauty and complexity of nature. Her career has spanned 40 years, during which she has created art that celebrates the wonder of the natural world. As a child growing up in coastal Australia, Kate was fascinated by the ocean, big skies and the wildlife that surrounded her. Frequent visits to the natural history museum further fueled her curiosity, as she marveled at the labeled and classified displays of birds and shells in glass cases. The diversity of life filled her with amazement and wonder.

This exhibit showcases a collection of recent hand-colored photographs and contemporary orotones. The images capture the beauty of everyday objects, including still-lifes, dried flowers, insects, lizards, ravens, landscapes, fruits, vegetables and even the moon. Each piece is unique and incorporates handwork, blending photography and painting. The hand-colored images exhibit intricate detail, drawing the viewer in to appreciate every aspect, from petals to feathers. The framed orotones are stunning objects, radiating a warm hue even in dimly lit settings. The combination of glass, image and gold leaf creates a unique three-dimensional quality.
